Step-by-step explanation:Let number of 49 cents =A

                                             Let number of 33 cents=B

<u>A+B=45    equation 1</u>

1 $=100 cents

49 cents =.49 dollar

33 cents=.33 dollar

so .<u>49A+.33B=17.89    equation 2</u>

Add equation 1 and equation 2

since these are simultaneous equations

.49A+.33B=17.89

     A+     B=45

so divide equation 2 by 100 we get

49A+33B=1789

    A+B     =45 multiply equation 1 by 33 on both the sides we get

<u>33A+33B=1485     equation 3</u>

so subtract equation 3 from equation 2 we get

49A+33B=1789  equation 2

<u>33A+33B=1485    equation 3</u>

<u>16A+0      =304</u>

16A=304

A=304/16

A=19

putting nalue of A in equation 1 we get

A+B=45

19+B=45

B=45-19

B=26

so number of 49 cent stamps are 19

and number of 33 cent stamps are 26

Can someone help with #3 and show your work !!

If s represents the number of songs Kim downloads, her expenses for a month must satisfy the inequality
  5.00 + 0.58·s ≤ 13.00

To solve this, subtract 5.00 to get the s-term by itself, then divide by the coefficient of s.
  0.58·s ≤ 8.00
  s ≤ 8.00/0.58 ≈ 13.79
The number of songs must be an integer, so we conclude Kim can download 13 songs, but not 14 songs.

Kim can download 13 songs without exceeding her budget.
